2.1.3.11.1.4.1.Estell
H.
Garton[xx],
b. May 1894.Hmmm.Is she or isn’t she???

1900 Greene Co., VA Census finds him living in the home of
his brother Joseph Garton.He is 24
at the time and had only been married for 11 months to Mattie, age 22.[xxxiv]

Powell & Mattie Garton
purchased the inherited shares of
her brother’s General Merchandise Store, from her other surviving siblings.Powell & Mattie Garton
gathered together all of their
available assets to purchase the business.Powell
Garton owned and operated the General Store in Greene County prior to 1926.The store was burned, arson.It
is thought that a customer who had accumulated a considerable debt set the store
on fire, and when asked to pay on it became angry and retaliated against the
Garton’s.After the destruction of
his store, 1927-28, he and his wife moved to Chesterfield County, Virginia.[xxxv]

Hugh Powell may have been named for a Hugh Powell Keyssear
who lived in thatarea of Greene Co at the time of his birth[xxxvi].
